Marvel’s Spider-Manis one of the best games we’ve played all year, and if you haven’t gotten enough of New York City and its enormous population of criminals yet, you’ll be able to jump back in whenThe HeistDLCreleases next week.
Out on October 23,The Heistis the first chapter in the game’sThe City That Never SleepsDLC series, all of which can be purchased for $25.
The Heistincludes three new suits for Peter Parker to wear — the Resilient Suit, designed by Marvel illustrator Gabriele Dell’Otto, as well as the Scarlet Spider II suit and the Spider-U.K. Spider-Verse suit. These are on top of the more than two dozen suits already included in the base game.
The suits not only change the way Peter looks as he’s soaring through the city, but also unlock additional abilities. And if you don’t like a particular suit but still want its ability, you can even apply that ability to the suit of your choice after it has been unlocked. This is very useful, as there are a few suits you’ll get later in the story that youdefinitelywill want to keep on for their cool factor alone.
The Heistwill focus on Peter’s relationship with Felicia Hardy, better known as Black Cat. She plays a role in the main game as well, as Peter periodically comes across cats she has left scattered all over the city.
The two other DLC episodes included withThe City That Never SleepsareTurf WarsandSilver Lining.Details on those are scarce at the moment, but we know they’ll release in November and December, respectively. The timing is perfect, as the animated filmSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseis out in theaters on December 14. It features voice work from the likes of Nick Cage and John Mulaney, and has a more humorous tone than we see in the live-action films.
Marvel’s Spider-Manis now available exclusively for PlayStation 4. It had thebiggest launch of any PlayStation 4 exclusivein history, taking the top spot away fromGod of War. It even had a bigger launch than the filmSpider-Man: Homecoming, and a sequel is all but guaranteed.
